Wedding photographers: Ever wonder what goes through the minds of the people who chose (or didn't choose) to hire you for their wedding? Here's one awesome Tribesmaid's reasons why she knows she hired the right photographers to shoot her Toronto-area wedding. Some of the reasons just might surprise you!

When we talk to vendors about doing sponsored posts, we often hear them say that they don't want to do a posts that's sponsored — they'd rather be featured in "real" editorial content, in the form of a wedding porn photo posts. So, here's the question: from a vendor's perspective, which kind of post performs better?

I wrote a post today on Offbeat Bride about why we don't publish styled shoots. As I hope I made clear in that post, as a longtime marketing fiend, I personally love seeing styled shoots. I love seeing the kinds of work that offbeat vendors want to be doing — especially vendors who work in more traditional markets, where they just might not have as many opportunities to show off their nontraditional tastes with real clients.

I'm a wedding photographer. I'm also an editor and a blogger. Luckily for me, the two (three) combine together to make sweet internet magic for me on the regular: I looooove using my editor tricks when it comes to blogging weddings on my site!
